Hayti is a one-tract neighborhood of Durham, NC and houses 2,228 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Durham rate of 29.4%.
This is a renter market: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 1,637 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 128.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 22.3% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Durham, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Burch Avenue and Hillcrest score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
